She always had good coat of heer
pom her back. And as for the trap,

CLASSY coat, and new harness weth
silver mountings, and a new whip

aud new cushion sit pom, and Pm

plain truth"
Then Dick up and said he
thought | shud never spend my lii
money like that there, accuse waddn
uawthln in this Ger world what took
away money so fast as bosses aud
carriages and long whips and soft
cushions.
But | splained to un how twas

aagin. I've always found that when
/ got the ovid mare and trap
staudin' up waitin in the street

and say "Move on" Then by Goose
| move slap or two. And IN a
minute more bobby do say "Move

Thas nasty, specially eff fellah es
waitin for Polly do her shoppln in
drapery shops.
"What have that got do weth

long 10 Squire Stumps of Stumpy
House"
That opened my eyes in one min
ute. Joe was goin on il his rattle
tattle way, like he always do, and
| up aud said says I
"Howld your Jaw, Joe, | don't
want hear one word more, accuse |

stop in the streets so loug as | mind
